The
Fireman's
Prayer
 When
I'm called to duty God, Wherever flames may rage
Give me strength to save a life Whatever be it's age
Help me to embrace a little
child Before it is to late
Or save an older person from The
horror of that fate
Enable me to be alert To hear
the weakest shout
And quickly and efficiently To
put the fire out
I want to fill my calling and To
give the best in me
To guard my neighbor and Protect
his property
And if according to your will I
have to lose my life
Bless with your protecting hand
My children and my wife
